Blocking on Anime video

[BiO-HaZaRd]

Well i'm encoding an anime, and i tried differents filters (Deen, BlindPP, Deblock, vmToon, fft3dgpu), finnaly, to my eye, the best combination was just simply this:

Deen("a3d",4,10,12)
vmToon()

But the problem is, that it took like 10 or 11 hours to complete on lagarith yv12 codec.

The other thing that concerns me is that the size of the file, is like almost the same and even a little bigger and as I read on this post: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=51181 Deen should provide a file a little smaller.

Maybe the vmToom compensating for this, i really don't know.

The other thing is that i tried those deblockers 'cause the video has lot of blocking but it doesn't really matter if I put a deblocking filter 'cause if use the deen it cleans it anyway so I just dindnt put it, hoping that way I could get it done in less time.

I hope a could just post some screens but I don't know if it's ok.

Thanks for the help guys.

Filtering takes time, you have to accept that. The size of your final product will depend on the bitrate that you use when encoding.

What is the source material and format? An unprocessed source sample would be helpful.

What is your intended final format and how are you encoding it?

Well the source is a divx file, so the procedure i made was: pass it to lagarith yv12 and then filter it... the idea is to get an x264 file.

I was told that for editing a lossless file is better so i used for the filtering...

Is it ok that I upload a unprocesed piece?

I've been liking the results of DFTtest() for cleaning up anime, and its working much better than deen, in my opinion. As a replacement for vmtoon, you might want to try Toon() and LimitedSharpenFaster(). I've been getting great results with these 3 filters, and it should be faster too.

Well the source is a divx file...Is it ok that I upload a unprocesed piece? How did you make the DivX file?

[BiO-HaZaRd]

oh, i will try them... what about fft3dgpu? it runs on the gpu so it should make things faster... and as I read it can also sharpen an image right?

The thing is i've tried some diffent configurations of this one, but i can't seem to get something better...

How did you make the DivX file?

I got it from the web...:rolleyes:
